Good morning, this forum has been of great help and service and I have used it a bunch in the past to help with this pool. We turned a black swamp into a nice sparkling pool, built a patio and more. But now it is time to finish the job. I am getting quotes to replaster the pool, redo all the tile as 1/3 is missing and redo the coping stones as a couple of the formed concrete stones are cracked and one is missing a big piece from it. The pool company will also take a peak at main drain which is plugged and pressure test lines.
I have had two companies come in and both agree all aspects of the pool are original, besides pump and filter which I installed. They both agree that replacing a couple of pieces of coping is useless as it is all so old and basically they use a top down approach.
They both come in at an estimate of $13k for a pool that is approx 16k gallons and 460 square feet, perimeter 84 feet kidney shape. Both agree installing a pool light to be to expensive, which is too bad.
They will look at the beam of pool as I told them the water is off 1/2 or so end to end.
One company came in with brick coping and plaster (could be colored) at that price point. They also offer pebbletec not sure if I want that.
The other company came in with formed concrete coping and 3 quotes of Ecofinish aquabrite at that point. The Bullnose brick coping cost $1800 more.
We are still awaiting a 3rd quote.
How do these sound? Any recommendations for pool rehab places in Eastern MA? What about thoughts on finishes and coping and anything else I should do at this time.
Thanks
Rob
